Welcome to my site.
My name is Brian Grove, and I’m a published author. What have I written? Well, we‘ll get to that in a minute. First of all let me tell you a bit about this site.
OK, what’s he selling? (is probably your initial thought). It would be mine too if I were you. Well, I do have something that can help you get your book published, but you can look at that later if you want. What this site is really about is plenty of free information about writing your book, how to pitch it to publishers, and what happens when you get your first book published. I have personal experience of this. Feel free to use the resources on this site in your quest to get your book published.
I don’t particularly want to get into criticising other ‘get your book published’ type sites. But there are a couple of things I should say to illustrate why I think this site is different. When I was writing my book I looked online for support and resources. What I found was a lot of sites selling a lot of product. Worse still, these products didn’t even seem to be written by authors. Things haven’t got much better since, so I want to help encourage you through the process of writing your book, and show you how to get a book published, through the point of view of an author.
So what will you find on my site? Well, its organised into articles/posts. But essentially you will be reading my personal account from my initial book idea, through to getting it published, and what happened during and after the process. Plus there are loads of free resources. I’ll talk about the highs and lows of the process, and there will be a few surprises and laughs along the way. I’m certain you will learn things that you won’t find on other sites. I’ll attempt to keep the site friendly and myself approachable, but I will be direct when necessary.
Probably the best place to start is here. It will give you some idea about my background, and why I became an author.
